Excellent trolling aside, very interesting that we've nicked a first team analyst from Swindon. Presumably someone with a fair bit of experience working with player data who Garner thinks of highly. We'll see how this window goes and how we play but if we marry up all the black box stuff with good football people who all work well together we could be in a good place.
Swindon continues to be raided by us - we'll take your players and your backroom staff!
Are we going to start running a Valley Express bus to Swindon to nick their fans too?
I found their tea lady ... Marion Ward.
After her role operating the County Ground’s scoreboard came to an end in the late ’80s, Ward, 69, was reassigned to tea-making duties in 1989. On match days, she looks after a group not always accustomed to sympathy on match day: the media. “A lot of them have travelled a long way,” she said. “Anything they need, I’ll try to help them out.”
As well as serving up rolls, biscuits, chips — and, of course, warm cuppas — Ward also hands out the line-up sheets and makes sure the coaching staff and the ball boys get their brews at various points during the day. It’s the ideal job for a long-time Swindon fan, she said. It was through football that she met her husband, Stuart, a former reserve player for the Robins.

Hard to tell as he is always sitting down on the job 🤔
Only fair that another club shares some frustration for once.
